Parkwood is a quiet, established residential neighborhood in Shoreline with a mix of mid-century and updated single-family homes on tree-lined streets. With a median home price of $750,000 and 82 days on market, the area offers relative affordability within the Shoreline market for buyers willing to be patient.
